In September 2023, we launched a Schools Counsellor Network.
Being a school counsellor or therapist is rewarding, but it's also challenging and at times even lonely. We want to build a community of counsellors and therapists working in schools; one where we can explore the joys and challenges, discuss strategies and interventions and consider therapeutic work outside the counselling room, such as parent support and group work.
Our series of online events are designed to bring practitioners together to share best practice and overcome the sense of professional isolation that might come from being the only counsellor in an organisation.
